When you inline edit information in the new lists, the rows that have been edited will be dimmed, but the information will remain visible.

New settings to hide the Actual Hours column in the Resource Planner

-
Resource Pools are persistent in the Resource Budgeting area of the Business Case
Now, when you are budgeting your resources in the Resource Budgeting area of the Business Case, the Resource Pools that you have already saved on the project are persistent when you navigate away from the page and come back.
-
Workfront administrators can now determine which users have access to view or edit cost information for roles, users, or projects in the Resource Planner.
Integration and mobile enhancements
-
Support of shared items in the MS OneDrive integration
Now you can link your shared OneDrive files and folders to Workfront objects.
-
Domain specification required for all Workfront logins
All Workfront logins now require the user to specify the domain if the domain is not already specified in the Workfront URL. Requiring this information makes your Workfront instance more secure.
-

The Workfront mobile app is coming in a future release to the Blackberry Dynamics for Blackberry Marketplace.
-
Convert tasks and issues to projects using the mobile app on iOS
You can now delete objects like tasks, issues, and timesheets in the Mobile app. You must have the correct permissions on the object to delete it.
-
Reset your password using the Mobile app
You can use the Workfront Mobile app to reset your password if you’ve forgotten it.
We’ve added several new look and feel improvements to enhance your experience in the Workfront Mobile app.
Home enhancements
-
Updates to the look and feel in Home
You can now decide whether to allow the time off schedule of the Primary Assignee of a task to adjust the planned dates.
Now, when you comment on a document, your update appears on the Updates tab both for the document and for the object where the document is attached.
When you assign a user to a task or an issue, you can now see an in-line warning if the user selected has time off scheduled any time between the planned dates of the task or issue.
We have created a new field type in the custom form builder called Typeahead. This field allows you to add fields that represent objects to your custom forms.
